    Cops and work trucks. Both drive around constantly and eat lunch on the road. My family uses this trick when travelling in the US, it has not let us down.

    Instruction unclear: following cop in hope for great food but instead found a huge scandal involving international human trafficking.

    I’m sure it’s still the case but in Toronto at Danforth and Donlands is a restaurant called Square Boy. It was jokingly referred to as the safest place in Toronto because it was always serving police and firefighters. Best goddamn gyros I’ve ever had. Their burgers are lit too.

          yeah it’s such a bummer to point out inequality, much more socially polite to suffer in silence like the good ones

          i’m just so tried of hearing about other people’s strife, it’s really starting to bum me out!

            I was literally suggesting a burger joint and unless you’re in the dystopia that is America cops and firefighters do not go around actively fucking over those less fortunate.

            See how far that hatred in your belly gets you in life. You want change? Be positive and build bridges.

              ain’t nary an ounce of hate to be found in my gullet, babe.

              You must be a riot at parties.

              enlighten me as to what bridge was built here. i met your sarcasm with more sarcasm, but suddenly that’s hateful? what do you call what you did?

              e: to clarify, i just think it’s quite callous to have such a devil may care attitude about inequality, even if you yourself aren’t exposed to it every day.

                I simply recommended a burger place as being awesome and it’s frequented by police and firefighters thus having a stereotype of being safe.

                You then apparently got your panties all worked up for some reason? You also seem to want to invest a shitton of words saying next to nothing of relevance?

                You do realize we are on The Internet right?

                Imagine being at a party and someone saying “burger place is awesome” and joking “it’s always full of police and firefighters” and then some asshat chimes in with “ackchully if all the police are there it’s not safe”

                As I said, you must be a riot at parties.

                Oh and yes I’m callous sure because you know me in the real world and of course what we say here has 100% relevance and bearing on who we are. Lol

                To be clear, we are both idiots because as soon as you argue on The Internet you both lose.

                  ah jeeze you sure got riled up, huh?

                  so first of all, i’m not even the same person you first replied to. idk what gave you this idea, but i’d suggest reading usernames before going THIS all-in over something so minor.

                  second, i didn’t call YOU callous. i made an (honestly pretty fucken measured) assessment of your statement, which is still a very rude thing to say to a stranger by the way! i don’t claim to know ANYTHING about you personally, so i sure would look like some kind of fucking idiot if i tried to make a personal judgement, right? maybe one like “you must be a riot at parties”? THAT’D sure be embarrassing.

                  no one ever said the burger place wasn’t good, or that you’re an asshole for recommending it. honestly i don’t know what possessed you to get THIS defensive. obviously i can’t speak for everyone, but i’d bet that no one here thought you were wrong for recommending a restaurant.

                  you’re being downvoted because you’re functionally echoing the same bullshit “anti-woke” sentiment that we all have to suffer through day after day. and please believe me when i say, you’re the first and only person who considers this an argument. at any point (even now!) you could say “whoops yeah that was mean” and that would LITERALLY BE THE END OF IT FOR ME.

                  but if you wanna keep showing your whole ass to a public forum, i will absolutely keep giving you the airtime for it 💖

      Suppose in your own town you could write down where you see their cars and go later.

      If you’re anti-police and it’s a large restaurant, or you’re prone to choking, it may be safe or safer too.

    I work at a grocery store and I see more firefighters than cops. Usually the firefighters get some fruit/veggies and some bread, haven’t really talked to them yet.

      That’s because the firefighters actually live at the station for several days at a time. And since they need to be available at the station in case of a call, they will cook at the station instead of eating out at restaurants.

      So yeah, firefighters buy groceries, but cops eat out in their cruisers.

    Cook County is one of the worst places in the US for Law Enforcement brutatity. The Chicago Police Department even has a black site where suspects are detained and tortured extrajudicially, and yes, the police there routinely will kill someone to control the narrative and then have the precinct coroner cover the tracks.

    So ACAB, especially in Chicago.
